E La Carte Raises $35 Million to Expand Pay-at-the-Table Technology

E la Carte Inc., a startup whose technology lets restaurant-goers order food and pay their bills from the table, without having to flag down a waiter, has raised $35 million in new venture capital and debt financing.

The company’s Presto systems, which include durable tablets and cloud-based software, may be familiar to patrons of casual dining franchises like Genghis Grill or Applebee’s that use it today.
